Pastor's Corner, April 14, 2013

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

During the Easter season you might wonder, "Is there proof of the resurrection?" Well, there is no video recording of it but there is plenty of proof that Jesus rose from the dead as Christians believe and profess.


Today, let's consider one proof of the resurrection: the empty tomb. Some say that someone stole the body of Jesus or the women went to the wrong tomb early Easter Sunday morning and that’s why the tomb is reported as being empty. However, the Jews and Roman soldiers had absolutely no motive to steal the body and the apostles were clearly too cowardly and could not have possibly gotten beyond and armed guard carrying a dead body. The women who came to the tomb in the morning had watched where Jesus was laid just two days previously. If they had gone to the wrong tomb, the Jewish authorities could have produced the body from the right tomb to stop the reports of Jesus’ resurrection.


In Christ,

Msgr. Baker
